Jennifer Lawrence to produce first movie 'The Glass Castle'

Lawrence explained that it was her mum that persuaded her to take on the role.

She said: "My mother is like the lucky charm with these kinds of things.

"She read Winter's Bone and Hunger Games and when I read The Glass Castle I thought it was amazing, so we found Gil Netter, the producer who had the rights, and he and I started talking and now we are developing. We have a director and a writer and it's getting going".

The novel by Jeanette Wallis tells the story of her dysfunctional upbringing that Walls had with an artist mother and alcoholic father.
